Abstract (en)

The invention provides for a medical system (100, 300, 400, 500) comprising: a memory (110) for storing machine executable instructions (150) and a processor (104) for controlling the medical system. Execution of the machine executable instructions cause the processor to: receive (200) first electric properties tomography data (152) descriptive of a first spatially dependent mapping (166) of an RF electrical property within a region of interest (310) of a subject (318), wherein the RF electrical property is a real valued permittivity or real valued conductivity; receive (202) second electric properties tomography data (154) descriptive of a second spatially dependent mapping (168) of the spatially dependent RF electrical property within the region of interest of the subject; calculate (204) a change (160) in the spatially dependent RF electrical property derived from a difference between the first electric properties tomography data and the second electric properties tomography data; and calculate (206) a spatially dependent ablation map (164) by indicating regions within the region of interest where the change in the spatially dependent RF electrical property is above a predetermined threshold.
